[Lazarus] How to know programs on Linux written in Pascal?

[Michael Ring]

This will also work, also detects non-lazarus binaries:


grep "FPC " /usr/local/lib/fpc/3.1.1/fpc
Binary file /usr/local/lib/fpc/3.1.1/fpc matches

as a find command:

find /usr/local/bin -type f -exec grep -H "FPC " {} \; 2>/dev/null
Binary file /usr/local/bin/bin2obj matches
...

Binary file /usr/local/bin/unitdiff matches

or this to display the FPC version:

strings /usr/local/lib/fpc/3.1.1/fpc | grep ^"FPC "

FPC 3.1.1 [2016/08/24] for x86_64 - Darwin

as find:

find /usr/local/bin -type f | while read file ; do strings $file | grep 
"^FPC " && echo $file ; done
FPC 3.0.0 [2015/11/14] for i386 - Darwin
/usr/local/bin/bin2obj
FPC 3.0.0 [2015/11/14] for i386 - Darwin
/usr/local/bin/chmcmd
FPC 3.0.0 [2015/11/14] for i386 - Darwin
/usr/local/bin/chmls
